    Any body notice that the blue highbeam light on the dash seem to bright? Anybody done anything about it? Disconnected it or something? I'm thinking about taking the most smallest drillbit and drilling it into the light to kill it.

    My 2012 Trd sports seems fine to me :notsure: blue lights in darkness will seem much more intrusive than a red or amber light will. Maybe just the contrast?

    Yeah it's just a pain in the eye really. Not to big of a deal. Just like it real dark when driving at night. I like that it's blue but just wish I can dim it a little.

    Don't drill into it. If it bothers you that much, put a piece of electrical tape over it.

    Better yet, go to walmart and get a roll of Scotch Magic tape. It has a matte surface and will diffuse the light a little while still allowing it to be seen .

    What windsor said. I wouldn't recommend drilling into it because 1) there will be broken glass/chemicals from the bulb and 2) most people will not like a hole in the dash if you plan on selling the truck o_O
